Sourcing
From organic turmeric grown by smallholder farms in Kerala. We source standardised extracts with measured curcuminoid content rather than whole-root powder, where potency varies enormously batch to batch.
How it works
Curcumin downregulates NF-κB signalling, modulating the body's inflammatory cascade. Bioavailability is naturally low, pairing with piperine increases absorption roughly twentyfold.
How to take it
Take with black pepper and a fat source for up to 20× better absorption.
